A female student suffered a
nose injury in a car collision in the
early morning hours of Sunday,
Oct. 14 between the tennis courts
and Wanberg Residence Hall on
Earlham Drive. She was transported to the hospital and is now
back in the residence hall, according to Assistant Chief of Campus Safety John Lewis. The hit-
and-run suspect is unknown at
the moment and may face felony
charges for having left the scene
of the accident.
At approximately 12:30 a.m.
on Sunday morning, Campus
Safety officer Tim Schultz was
drivingdownEarlham Drive near
Wanberg Residence Hall when a
light blue Toyota Celica passed him
on the way up the hill. The car had
an extensive damage on front end
and "I noticed that both airbags
were deployed," Schultz said. Trying to get the driver's attention or
track her down was unsuccessful.
Schultz arrived at a lower part
of Earlham Drive and saw that it
was blocked by a white Ford Ran-
chero. His rear end was backed into
the hill and over the parking sign on
the side of the street and the car
suffered a sustained damaged front,
according to Lewis. The driver abandoned the vehicle after the accident. Campus Safety made an attempt to contact local citizens and
several ASPECT students who were
in the area. "Nobody saw anything;
they only heard a loud crash,"
Schultz said.
Whittier Police Department
(W.P.D.) responded with paramedics and fire trucks at 12:32 a.m., at
which time they also diverted traffic to Penn Street. They contacted
the female in the blue Toyota Celica, who was identified as a Whittier
College student. She was covered in blood and was holding her
nose complaining of pain. Subsequently, she was transported by
paramedics to the Whittier Presbyterian Hospital where she was
diagnosed with a broken nose.
Her car was towed away later on
that morning.
The causes of the accident
are not clear. 'This head-on collision could have happened due
to poor weather conditions, the
carelessness of whichever car or
their unsafe speed," Schultz said.
The Ford Ranchero was found to
be registered in the West Whittier
Area but the address indicates
that the owner lives on Earlham
Drive.
The W.P.D. could not provide information at the time of
press, as its report turnaround time
is seven days.
The W.P.D. is looking for
witnesses of the accident. If you
have any relevant information,
contact the W.P.D. at (562) 945-
8250 or Campus Safety at Ext.
4211.
Twelve students are
selected as royalty,
including several that
helped to plan

When senior Program Board
Chair Vincent Vigil picked up the
Homecoming King's robe from the
dry cleaners before the football
game on Saturday, Oct. 13, he had
no idea that it would be placed on
him a few hours later.
Vigil was crowned as Homecoming King and senior Bianca
Juarez—also a member of Program
Board—was crowned as Queen by
President Katherine Haley Will at
the Homecoming football halftime
ceremonies on Saturday, Oct. 13.
The Senior Court included 01-
lie Lynch, Jeff Cleveland, Ginger
Gohier and Jasmine Juarez.
Other royalty were first-year
students Dana Burr and Jess Brow,
sophomores Hovig Artinian and
Celeste Siordia and juniors Ron
Campbell and Cathy Burt.
The court was paraded down a
billowing red runway in the middle
of the field while Professor of Music Steve Gothold read the biographies of the nominees. While the
Senior Court and underclass royalty were announced at the Homecoming bonfire on Thursday, Oct.
11, the King and Queen had to wait
until the game to learn who won.
Vigil's and Juarez's wins completed more than a month of preparing for Homecoming weekend. Vigil knew that regardless of how excited he may have been to have
won, the field had to be cleared
within 18 minutes or the Poet football team would be penalized. This
did not, however, prevent him from
embracing the President.
